(01. il-f-l) 1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in apparatus for dyeing eggs and other objects. I

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a dyeing apparatus in which the object to be dyed can be easily handled in a manner that will mitigate the likelihood of dam- 1 age thereto and inconvenience to the dyer.

Another important object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the character stated wherein the various constituents are convenient: ly placed and accessible at all, times for ready handling.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view.

Figure 2 is a front elevational view.

Figure 3 is a side elevational view.

Figure 4 is a cross section on the line 4-4 of v Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 denotes a platform having an ovateshaped opening 6 at one corner portion thereof. On this platform 5 andcircumventing the opening 6 is a rise 1 against which an egg 8 or other arcuate shaped object can roll without likelihood of the same rolling off of the platform 5.

The platform 5 is supported by corner legs 9 and is formed with transversely extending ribs [0 rising from the top thereof, defining grooves H for the reception of dye brushes or the like I2.

Some ornate figure such as a rabbit or the like 13 may be attached to one end of the platform 5. A rack bar I4 is provided for the rearportion of the platform 5 and comprises an elongated the roller, and an upstanding article confining piece of preferably strap iron, the lower end por-.

tions are bent downwardly as at [5 and outwardly as at l6, these latter portions being riveted or otherwise secured as at I! to ears I8 formed of the platform 5.

The rack bar I4 is formed with openings I9 large enough to receive dye containing bottles 20, which rest upon the rear edge portion of the platform 5.

The underside of the platform 5 has a pair of bearing members ll, 22 depending therefrom and apertured to receive an elongated shaft 23 on which is a rubber roll 24. Of course, this roll may be of any other suitable material, but sulficiently resilient so as to afford a traction surface that will tend to rotate an egg 8 or other object that may rest thereon when the shaft 23 is rotated. This shaft 23 at its outer end is provided'with a crank handle 25 which when rotated, turns the shaft 23, rotating the roll 24' and, in turn, the object 8 and if a dye contained brush is held against the object 8, application of the dye to the object 8 will take place uniwall on the platform surrounding said opening.
